Savannah~ Just from the experiences people have had with
the body wave on the board. I think Amm described it the best
of all...."a loofah sponge" ..what it looked like after a week
or so after installing. I was testing different kinds of glues for
pre-tipping and I used the body wave to test and it was tangling
from the start. The straight is better if you plan on buying WaWa
and just curl it yourself.

Thanks girls....you are all too kind! I just love how we all inspire each other!

Ditto everything SAS said. Vixen wigs is the place to purchase WaWa from. She is reasonable on shipping and the price is right. And she is an absolute DARLING, always friendly, courteous and prompt. Love her!

And the Wawa straight is what you want to get. From all the reviews the bodywave just doesnt have the same quality and get crappy FAST.

You're Welcome…I would NOT recommend you get the body
wave hair……I would buy straight only in WaWa!! Do a search
on ebay for human hair.....and all her auctions say the hair
color and length -"like human"...in the titles.

sherrie, where did you buy the wawa? ive decided that i am ordering wawa in 14 inch, and that im doing the sandwich technique. ive finally got the courage. i just need to know where to order from. ive found hair sisters, but that was the only good one when i google "WaWa hair"

Thanks girls....It may be just me, Ive never worn synthetic before....so it may just take some getting used to the texture and feel. It definitely helped layering and razoring the ends,and I think I may do a little more yet. That made a huge difference.

Jenn this is the 20 inch Wawa.

OMG!  Your hair looks absolutely beautiful! 

If you've got that much curl after three days (despite all of the showering and washing your hair) I definitely think there will be plenty of curl left after steaming your hair!  I hope that it softens up for you!

For what it's worth...it looks great!

Curl update: Its been 3 days ago that I curled the wawa...and Ive showered and washed hair daily. Still looks gorgeous! I curled this hair on Saturday night...and have barely touched a curling iron to it since. I might touch up a curl here and there but thats it! I love the look of this hair but I dont like the feel....I will definitely try the steaming and see if its any softer? I did find that it feels much better after I razored the heck out of the ends. It took alot of the weight off, and feels lighter and fluffier!  But still looks just as full. And it helped with the bunchie-ness between brushings. Here is a picture right after shower this morning. Blowdried the top and underneath...the wawa is still a little damp in the picture....but look at the CURL. I am just amazed that I dont have to curl on a daily basis! I HOPE....this hair holds up for awhile!

Hey there Sherrie,  What I found to work very well was to steam it! Unfortunately this will most likely remove your gorgeous curls, but you know how easy it is to reset.  Here is what I did, after washing and conditioning(same as you would HH), spray a fine light mist of the diluted fabric softener on mostly the lower half of the hair, then take a tiny amount of Baby Oil Gel spread over the surface of your hands and rub down the length of the hair(not too much or you will get a greasy look) then because I do not have a steamer, I held the hair over the stream of steam from a vaporizer and brushed.  It worked wonders for the WaWa and the Plastikhaar.  Keeps the ends in good shape, as in preventative maintenance.  

Hope this helps.  You could try just doing a small section to see how it works for you.

Wow Sherrie, I love your hair, its awsome, really beautiful, that is such a good idea about shrinkying the wefts.  I'm about to do my first sandwich install and have cut my wefts to the right width but I thought god what am I going to do if I glue them in and they look sparse - that is now what I'll do xx

ok wawa users....please tell me is there anything I can use to make this hair feel softer? It looks good but feels yucky! Or is it something I just have to get used too? It feels so scratchy and rough! Ive tried the diluted fabric softener. Seems like what I have tried just leaves the hair looking piecey and shiney. Ive tried...a leave on solution of very diluted fabric softener and Ive tried flasher, and dome care.....grrrr

yeah...the test will be how long it lasts! Thats why I chose NOT to do the sanwiching method this time...in case I need to take them back out soon, they will be easier to get out.

I just had to blowdry the top of my head this morning and a little underneath....and the wawa was pretty much dry by that time...it was like about 10 minutes blowdring...AMAZING and a head full of curl!

If I do this type of install agin...one thing I will do differnt is prelayer....like maybe the shrinkies that I put on the wefts I will prelayer. Dont know why I didnt think about that.

One other thing....if anyone has any suggestions. I dont like the harsh feel of this hair on my back...it def. feels like synthetic and maybe thats just something Im not used to and gotta accept...but is there anything that will make it feel softer? Does the fabric softener work on the Wawa? Has any wawa users tried fabric softener?

Wow, so after washing and blowdrying your new WAWA hair, the curl is still there?????  If that is true, what the heck have I been doing with the HH stuff??? 

Keep us updated as to how long your wawa lasts.

Oh, where did you buy it from?
